Chapter 2916 Shocking Bill
"Mr. Lin, this is the bill for your creation of the 'golden wine pool' at the Burj Al Arab. Please take a look at it!" The butler sent the bill.
Logically speaking, this bill should be delivered by Manager Armstrong himself. Such a large bill should naturally be delivered by the highest-ranking person. This has always been the purpose of the Burj Al Arab Hotel, so that guests can enjoy the highest standard of treatment.
, making them feel that the money spent is worth it.
But today, Armstrong didn't dare to come because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear Lin Feng's anger. The bill was quite scary. He was afraid that Lin Feng would take it out on him directly. So he sent a butler. As for the butler, he serves as Lin Feng's receptionist.
, I have no choice but to come. Unless he doesn’t want to do it anymore. But this time Lin Feng promised to give him 1% service fee, can he not come?
Lin Feng took the bill and frowned slightly. The housekeeper's heart was suddenly in the air, and he was in a state of confusion. If he put an earpiece on the housekeeper's chest, he would definitely hear - thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, a wildly beating sound.
The housekeeper is also afraid that Lin Feng will go crazy. Although this bill is not deceptive in name, in fact it is still very deceptive. Many items are charged according to the highest standards, and Manager Armstrong is still behind the scenes.
It's a bit bad. Otherwise, the numbers wouldn't be so scary.
"Very good, I will transfer this money to your hotel account on time." Lin Feng surprised the housekeeper and agreed lightly.
"Ah -" the housekeeper was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to agree like this, leaving him unable to react for a long time.
"What? Is there any problem?" Lin Feng asked.
The housekeeper shook his head repeatedly. There is no problem with this, there is no problem at all. Manager Armstrong has thought up all the ways to deal with Lin Feng's refusal to pay. As long as Lin Feng refuses to pay, Armstrong will immediately hold a press conference to
This matter was reported to the news media and will go directly to the Dubai court. Not only will Lin Feng's reputation be discredited, but he will also have to bear an additional fine. The laws of this country are formulated by the Dubai royal family. And sailing boats
The big boss behind the hotel is Chief Mohammed.
I just didn't expect that Lin Feng agreed and agreed to pay so readily.
"Then...I'll take my leave now!" the butler said.
Lin Feng waved his hand and signaled the butler to retreat.
The housekeeper was stunned and struggled for a moment. What about the 1% service fee that Lin Feng promised to him? Should he return this to himself? The housekeeper wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask. Seeing that Lin Feng didn't express anything, the housekeeper had to be frustrated.
After leaving, looking at the dejected back of the butler, Lin Feng smiled coldly.
"Boss, how much does it cost?" Melissa was indeed a news anchor. She was extremely perceptive and saw something unusual from Lin Feng's calm face.
"See for yourself!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.
Melissa pursed her lips, took a breath, and picked up the bill.
"Oh my God, they're not crazy!" Melissa exclaimed. Although she was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect that the number on the bill would be so scary.
$21.3 billion! This is too much! This bill is clearly a money grab! Melissa said angrily.
This bill lists two major items, one is outsourcing expenses and the other is service fees. Among them, outsourcing expenses are as high as 15.6 billion US dollars, and service fees are astonishing 5.7 billion US dollars. This is simply naked.
Blackmail! According to Melissa's calculations, there are only two outsourced expenses, namely 12 tons of gold and 108 cubic meters of wine. 12 tons of gold, based on today's gold price, is about 11.4 billion U.S. dollars. But the bill is marked with 11.97 billion U.S. dollars.
US dollars, 5% more. Of course, for this 5%, the price is still acceptable. After all, Lin Feng wanted so much gold in a hurry, causing a lot of chaos in Dubai's gold street. The 5% increase is barely justified.
But the remaining expense, 108 cubic meters of wine, was a bit excessive, actually as high as 3.63 billion U.S. dollars. Although it was originally considered to cost about 4.8 billion U.S. dollars, that refers to 40,000 U.S. dollars per bottle of wine. In fact,
In this 'golden wine pool', there are no more than 100 bottles of wine that truly exceed 40,000 US dollars. There is no way, Dubai does not have more stocks of such high-end wines. After all, the stocks of this kind of wine are extremely rare. And this
The 'Golden Wine Pool' used more wines worth about 10,000 US dollars, and in the end wines worth several thousand dollars accounted for most of it. According to Melissa's statistics, a total of 108,000 bottles of wine were used, of which more than 40,000 were used.
There were 78 bottles of US$1 bottle, accounting for about 0.072% of the share. 410 bottles of wine worth US$30,000 were used, accounting for 0.379% of the share. 896 bottles of wine of more than US$20,000 were used, accounting for 0.829% of the share.
There were 23,000 bottles of wines priced over US$10,000, accounting for 21.29% of the total. The rest were wines priced above US$1,000 and below US$10,000, which accounted for the most, up to 77.43%.
Based on this share conversion, Melissa’s expenses, including price inflation, would be around US$900 million at most, never less than US$1 billion. As a result, the bill was US$3.63 billion, more than three times higher. This is a bit
Cheating and a bit of a bully.
Of course, compared with this outsourcing expense, the service fee is even more deceiving. The service fee of 57 billion US dollars is not robbing money, it is printing money. It is true that the service of Burj Al Arab Hotel is indeed first-class, and guests can truly enjoy it.
God’s service. But God’s service is not as expensive as $5.7 billion.
Upon closer inspection, Melissa wanted to scold her even more. The US$5.7 billion is divided into three major categories, one is various enjoyment services provided by the hotel, the other is security services, and the third is compensation that affects the normal operation of the hotel.
Jin. Among them, the enjoyment services were broken down into dozens of items. Melissa didn’t have the patience to read them all one by one, so she only looked at a total figure, which was US$2.7 billion.
As for the other security service, there are not so many items, only three. One is the security service fee for Lin Feng and many princes, the second is the service fee for protecting gold, and the third is the service fee for the police to block the hotel. It is also 2.7 billion US dollars. As for the service fee
The compensation for impacting hotel operations is US$300 million.
"Shameless, absolutely shameless!" Melissa waved the bill angrily, "Boss, they are blackmailing, absolute blackmail!"
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yes, it is indeed blackmail. But even if you know that it is blackmail, what can you do?" Lin Feng asked.
"I'm going to the Consumer Protection Association to sue the Burj Al Arab Hotel. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the court!" Melissa said excitedly.
"Melissa, the big boss behind the Burj Al Arab Hotel is Chief Muhammad, and the laws of this country are all made by Chief Muhammad." Lin Feng said, "You sue him? Is this possible?"
Melissa was speechless. Although it is the 21st century, in Arab countries, the laws are far less fair and just than those in the West. There are still a lot of discrimination and unfairness here. This is the world of the rich, not the world of the rich.
A fair world.
"Then we can tell the media that the Burj Al Arab Hotel's arbitrary charges will definitely bring it into disrepute." Melissa gritted her teeth and said.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"If I expose it, I'm afraid people will only make fun of me, Lin Feng, for being a villain who goes back on his word, saying that I, Lin, am a show-off but can't bear to spend money." Lin Feng said loudly.
Melissa was stunned and thought for a moment, that was really the case. If Lin Feng disclosed this bill, although the outside world would be surprised by the "luxury" of the bill, most of them would probably accuse Lin Feng of being poor at the Burj Al Arab Hotel.
It was extremely luxurious, but when I saw the bill, I was so scared that I couldn't bear to spend the money. When the time comes, the outside world will definitely criticize Lin Feng overwhelmingly, but the reputation of Burj Al Arab will be intact.
"What should we do?" Melissa asked dumbly.
Lin Feng shrugged.
"Wait!"
"wait?"
"Well, maybe things will clear up one day after the rain?" Lin Feng chuckled.
Melissa just rolled her eyes. How can you wait? Can you wait? How many days can you wait without paying? Nothing is so cheap in this world. What medicine is the boss selling in his gourd? - Mei
Lisa looked at Lin Feng, who had a calm face, and was extremely puzzled. She knew Lin Feng quite well. He was a master who would never suffer a loss. This time, the Burj Al Arab Hotel had made it clear that it was trying to trick Lin Feng, and he could not be so straightforward.
Pay. In that case, what is Lin Feng planning?
Melissa had to admit that she knew Lin Feng very well, but she didn't understand him well. Sometimes, you couldn't guess what he was thinking at all. But every time, he always did something amazing.
At this moment, on the other side, Manager Armstrong of the Burj Al Arab Hotel was waiting in the hotel very anxiously. He didn't know what Lin Feng would do with this bill. Was Lei Lei angry and turning his back, or was Lei Lei refusing to accept the bill in anger?
Don't admit it.
"Manager!" the butler came back.
"How is it? What's Lin Feng's attitude?" Armstrong asked.
"He promised to pay!" replied the steward.
"What, promise to pay?" Armstrong asked in surprise, "What's his expression?"
"He was very calm, as if the number was nothing special, so he agreed to pay." The butler described what he saw and heard.
What is the situation? How could Lin Feng pay so readily? It shouldn't be. Even if he is very rich, it shouldn't be. This bill is a deceptive bill made with the authorization of Sheikh Mohammed.
Provoke Lin Feng, and then use the media to discredit him, defeating what Lin Feng has always been most proud of - word of mouth.
Lin Feng's reputation is world-famous. This is also the envy of almost all Lin Feng's enemies and friends. There is a saying in the financial world - if you want to defeat Lin Feng, you must first defeat him.
He has a reputation of absolute credibility. Otherwise, no matter how difficult it is, he can turn the tide.
This time, Muhammad just wanted to destroy Lin Feng's reputation and then repair him severely. Muhammad didn't know why "g23" was indifferent to Lin Feng's launch of the "air water wheel", but no matter what "g23" did, he would never
Accept being led by Lin Feng. He wants to fight back. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
